A leading provider of enterprise software and services for global manufacturers, QAD, Inc, announced that a Netherlands-based filtration manufacturer that specializes in filters for automotive paint facilities, gas turbines, intakes and high-end HVAC installations, Filtrair BV, has streamlined its global supply chain using a combined solution of QAD Enterprise Applications and Precision Software’s Global Trade Management solution, which is a division of QAD Inc.

To work in tandem with the already deployed QAD Enterprise Applications suite, Filtrair BV implemented the QAD-Precision solution. Leading to improved transfer and maintenance of data from order entry and processing, to delivery and invoicing, Filtrair BV has been able to achieve, as a result, tighter integration throughout its supply chain.

Filtrair BV supplies its filtration products to customers in more than 80 countries in the Americas, Europe, Africa and Asia. This global audience requires a supply chain solution that can streamline communications with customs bureaus in each country, and help to more efficiently deliver products. Using QAD Enterprise Applications, the company already had achieved strong return on investment, so it was a natural choice to deploy Precision’s Global Trade Management solution.

Finance Manager at Filtrair BV, Johan Langius, stated: “The combined solution has automated the production of Filtrair’s export and shipping documentation, which has led to faster and more efficient filing of customs information and reduction of the number of days Filtrair’s goods were in transit.” “Streamlined communication with customs bureaus means that our products get to our customers faster, improving customer relations and helping to increase our bottom-line.”
